Flash :: Dealing W/ Chromeless Window

The Chromeless Window...
I have just created a simple webpage with one swf file in it. The webpage is called main.html, and the swf file has 15 buttons in it. When you click one, it loads a chromeless window, as shown at kirupa's site here. Each button refers to a seperate page, 1-15.html.
The problem is the script that gives the title name for the borderless window is in main.html, and each button gives the same title name.

Is there any way to make each window have a different title name? If so, will it take lots of coding, coz i ain't too good at that and ain't got much time!

Thanks for any help.

Chromeless Window
Hello: Kirupa Chinnathambi

I am writing regarding the chromeless window, you can find this in
your website by doing a search for "window" select the chromeless pop-up window instruction. However, after I generate the chromless
pop-window I have my html embeded in the window and it has a button that I would like for the same effect to occur again but when I select
the view source code for the chromeless window it do not perserve the
chromeless sorce code I paste in it. So I need a procedure to generate another chromeless window from the chromeless window I have already generated.

Sincerely,

Kevin Smith

Chromeless Pop-Up Window ... HELP Plz...
Hi everyone, I am a newbie. And I have been trying to figure out the chromeless Pop-Up window tutorial located on this link : http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/chromeless.htm

I am not sure what I did wrong, I am guessing I copy and paste the first script wrong in the action panel in flash.
Am I suppose to be pasting the script in expert mode?

if this is not the problem i am guessing I did something wrong on the next script.
In the instruction you mentioned </head> tags, well I found two </head> tags in the html and I added the script after both </head> tags.
Am I suppose to add it on only the last </head> tags? or both?

And also, should this part of the script

/////////////////////////////////////////////
//This are the attributes you can customize//
/////////////////////////////////////////////

be paste in the html?

Anyone who can land me a hand on this would be the greatest person on earth.

THX!!!!!

Chromeless Window Question
Hello all,

I've created a cdrom in flash and will be exporting it as an .exe, I’ve disabled the toolbar/menu unfortunately this leaves a border of whatever the bkg colour of the movie is at the top & bottom (don't know if I can get rid of it), but what I’m after is to remove the window border (chromeless window effect). I've seen this being done on cd cover disks i.e. Computer Arts magazine.

Can this be done in flash or do I need a 3rd party prog? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

I want to launch a web page containing an 'swf' file that opens in a chromeless window.

I have tried pasting the jscript into my 'home.html' page and targeting my 'into.html' page containing the 'swf' but nothing happens, do I need to place a 'js' folder in my domain folder on the server for the code to access and then complete the chromeless window??

hope you can help,

I redid it twice and I'm not going to try the third!! OMG!! Anyone has alternative solutions for this? Or anyone has another version of the chromeless script that works with SP1 and SP2? If you have a solution for this.. if I can jump out of the screen to give you a kiss and hug, I WILL!!!!! Millions of thanks in advance!

Yet Another Chromeless Window QUESTION...
Ok Im sorry for asking this but I cannot find a well "worded answer" within 900 tutorials. Ive gotten the chromeless window tutorial to work with my website that you can find on actionscript.org..however that script is just for one button... Now lets say I have 20 buttons, and after u click each one a new Chromeless window comes up.
How do I code each button? and do I have to repeat the javascript code "20" times within the Index.html file. Again Im sorry but i cant figure this out. Thanks in advance

Here is the code im using for the one button:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascriptpenIT()");
}

Here is code in my webpage published file (index.html):

<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript" SRC="java.js"></SCRIPT>

<script>
function openIT() {
theURL="yourpage.html"
wname ="CHROMELESSWIN"
W=300;
H=100;
windowCERRARa = "close_a.gif"
windowCERRARd = "close_d.gif"
windowCERRARo = "close_o.gif"
windowNONEgrf = "none.gif"
windowCLOCK = "clock.gif"
windowREALtit = " ? Task title"
windowTIT = "<font face=verdana size=1> your chromless</font>"
windowBORDERCOLOR = "#000000"

Chromeless Window & Flash W/ Javascript On Top
OK I have a chromeless window that contains a Flash Movie in it. In this flash Movie I have a button that opens a customized window using javascript IN FLASH using ActionScript.

The New Window Has a button that plays an .avi video. When the video plays it laggs the flash movie and the video. I want to either pause the flash movie or close the chromeless window? What should I do? How easy is it to pause the Flash Movie? How Do I target the chromeless window from the newly opened Video window?

Im posting this in Scripting&Backend and Flash 5 because it's sort of both!

Opening A Chromeless Window Through Flash
On my HTML page, I can open up my chromeless window just fine, but does anyone know if it is just as easy to open from a Flash file?

Preload, AttachSound, Chromeless Window
I know i'm close to making this baby work...

THE GOAL: to have a small flash chromeless window that plays music you can turn on or off pop up on my homepage.

WHAT I HAVE:

music with a simple graphic, play & stop buttons in a separate .swf file. (musicfinal.swf)
i tested this so i know my music plays.
this is the script i used to get my music playing:
onClipEvent (load) {
music = new Sound(this);
music.attachSound( "music" ); //this attaches the sound from the library
music.setVolume(0); //this starts the volume a t zero for the initial fade in
music.start(0, 99999999999999); // this starts the music and loops it.
nVgoal = 100;
nVnew = 0;
musicon = true;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
nVdiff = nVgoal-(music.getVolume());
nVmov += nVdiff*0.2;
nVmov *= 0.2;
nVnew += nVmov;
music.setVolume(nVnew);
}

I want the above (musicfinal.swf) to start loading in frame one of my main movie. so...

In my main movie I created a new movieclip for my preloader.
The preload is simply the word loading fading in and out.
I placed this on the first frame of my main movie and added this script.

onClipEvent(load){
loadMovieNum("musicfinal.swf",1)
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
percentloaded=Math.floor(_level1.getBytesLoaded()/_level1.getBytesTotal()*100)
if(percentloaded == 100 && !initialized){
_level1.mysound()
initialized=true
_visible=false
}
}

When i test the movie no errors come up but...
1. i don't see my preload, although the graphic that is part of the sound movie immediately appears.

2. the music doesn't play.

3. the graphic that is part of my sound movie appears in the top left corner of my main movie.
how can i be more specific about where the sound movie graphic appears in my main movie?

note 1: i have no problem getting rid of the graphic and buttons in my sound movie if i can put them in my main movie and have the buttons control my sound movie.

note 2: my main movie is just a flash chromeless window. which is why i need my sound movie graphic to be placed in it accurately.

question? would it be better to create my music and preload inside of my chromeless window instead of as a separate swf.file?

you know what if i can fix what i have now i'd rather do that.

whew! i'm getting overwhelmed.
thanks for any help.

HELP Chromeless Window + Flash Button = :-(
I can't get this button to launch the chromeless window and i have a feeling it's because it's Javascript, and not a regular url... is there another alternative for:

on (press, release) {
getURL("javascript:openIT();");
}

it's supposed to launch a chromeless window, but when i tried to enter *javascript:openIT();* as the url, it wouldn't launch the window as if it were a normal html link... How frustrating, someone help PLEASE!?!?!?!?!
